It's been nearly four months since the site overlords and I sat down to do a podcast and discuss all things Leafs.

Over those 120 days some incredible things have happened - Kaberle won a Cup, Vancouver lost the Cup, Brett Lebda was traded, and PPP was (temporarily?) overthrown from his own blog.

Joins us as Chemmy, PPP and I discuss all this and more (the mystery of Mahi Mahi, PPP's Brett Lebda tattoo) in PPP Podcast 15.

We are back with more aural goodness! Ryan (puckurgently/@ryantologist) did a spectacular job on the audio since MF37 and our special guest had the world's worst connections. We crammed so much hockey talk into 23 minutes that we couldn't even fit a cold open.

We talked about how much we are just enjoying the Leafs' run, James Reimer's legitimateness, the reasons for Phil Kessel's resurgence, Ron Wilson's job as a coach, the Leafs' playoffs chances, the Tomas Kaberle trade, and, of course, the importance of goaltending, and how much we hate Daniel Briere.

Song list:

1. Alright - Supergrass
2. Old Habits - John Hiatt
3. On, On, On - Joel Plaskett
4. It's a Motherfucker - The Eels
5. Planet Telex - Radiohead

Yes, it's PPP Podcast 13, our first episode since October, 2010.

This was actually recorded on Thursday January 6th so we're offering it to you at a deep discount in case some of the contents might have gone a bit stale.

Be sure to vote for who is the best (not worst?) Leaf.

In episode 13, Chemmy, PPP and I discuss:

Reimer, Gustavsson and what to do with the goalies (very timely, no?)
Colby Armstrong and the Heavy Lifter Index  - can he get better? (spoiler alert: MF37 says "yes.")
The future for coach Ron Wilson

Colaiacovo cap hits & injuries; Steen vs. Stempniak (Let's all blame Maurice)
Leafs roster elimination game (rules explained half-way through)

Songs after the jump...

Game one is tonight on Hockey Night in Canada and I'm at work wearing my Kessel tshirt under my work clothes. This is exciting and a little bit sexy.

Our sound guy is wearing Habs boxers on Twitter today but no worry because the Podcast is here! We talk about the demotion of Mitchell and Hanson, do some spitballing on Jeff Finger and opening night and talk a little bit about Nazem Kadri. Music list after the jump.

While PPP is on vacation we decided to replace him on the podcast with someone much smarter: mc79 of mc79hockey.com. He's a lawyer and gave us his interpretation of the upcoming string of litigation surrounding the Kovalchuk contract.

We also talked about the Leafs: his feelings about next season for the Blue and White, his take on the Kessel deal, and how Pension Plan Puppets has changed his opinion of Leafs fans. Follow me over the jump to talk about the podcast and for the music list.
